Australia 53-3 (9 ovs) vs New Zealand 291 all out (45 ovs) [Revised score 325 in 33 overs] Scorecard

This is not good news from Edgbaston as the match has been called off due to the incessant rain.

This means, both teams will take a point each. 

To expect more of such results in the coming days through the tournament will not be a folly.
 
Australia have been pushed on the back foot by the Kiwi bowlers here. 

At 53 for 3 they look in trouble, because ICC informs us that with the Duckworth-Lewis method they should have ideally made 64. 

So far there are no other updates and we have to play the waiting game till the match officials make any decisions from wet, wet, wet Edgbaston.

Milne continues and Henriques on strike. He gets the outside edge but doesn't carry to the 'keeper.

Henriques just pulls the ball nicely for a boundary through square leg. What a shot!

Streaky shot by Henriques. He gets an edge that bounces before first slip who fails to stop the ball from racing down to four through third man.

Milne strikes again. Henriques gets an inside edge and gives an easy caught and bowled to Milne. 

Henriques gone for 18 off 14 and now the rain has come down again and the players follow Henriques out of the ground.

The covers come on. 

Boult continues and that is two good dot balls. 

Henriques then gets a top edge and the ball flies over the 'keeper's head for a four.

Wow! Henriques gets this one in the middle of the bat and timed it for a perfect boundary through square leg.

He then gets a single down to fine leg.
